3. Mary Alexander Marries Carl Harris
Mary Alexander married Carl Harris on December 29, 1916 in Headrick, Oklahoma. They were married by the Justice of the Peace, J. E. Ernst in the home of Mrs. Marsh. Witnesses were Mrs. Geo. Harris and Mrs. Lena Blair, both of Headrick. Here is a copy of their marriage license.
Of the people named on the certificate, besides Mary and Carl, the only one I recognize is Mrs. Geo. Harris. That would be Annie Harris, Carl's step-mother. Carl's mother died in 1904 and his father George remarried in 1910.
An interesting thing about this marriage certificate is the ages of Carl and Mary. Carl is listed as age 21 when in fact in 1916, Carl would have been 16. Mary is listed as age 19 and she would have been age 18. The only photo I have of Mary and Carl at a young age is the one I posted in Post #2.
Mary and Carl went on to have four children. Lloyd was born in 1919, Freda was born in 1922, Naomi was born in 1924 and Tebe was born in 1930. I'll get my pictures of their children and post them. All four were handsome children and successful in their life persuits.
